Big Fat Connie Sketch

Sketch #6 for Makeshift Magazine.
This ones from the sketchbook when I was developing character back stories. Connie's really let herself go here, and I'm a big fan of Starbucks and I'll say that for free.

Fred The Clown in Vice Magazine

VICE magazine has 'reprinted' my tribute to Fred the Clown (created by Roger Langridge) on their website. As one reader commented "every sunday a new cartoon. every sunday they suck."

Connie Radar - Fan Art

Here's some fan art from Woric and it's awesome...

Joke Du Jour 8
This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7" gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, "You can't work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7" wrench." Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, "The Langstrom 7" wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket." Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, "It says sprocket not socket!"

This was done a couple of years ago during a sevre drought in Australia, a public service annoucement instructing people to not waste water. The country was on the verge of a national disaster, unfortunately the rain came along and the job was cancelled.

Connie Radar - Animation Test



Above, there should be an animated walk cycle test done in FlashC4 (you may need to install a new Flash player to view it) using the new 'bones' tool, something long overdue for Flash. It's a little mechanical looking but that's why we test. She blinks too!

FOT on Rhys Darby's 'Imagine That' DVD


"Rhys Darby Live stand up show from the El Rey theatre Los Angeles - filmed in 2008. Packed with hilarious extras including an interview with Rhys, outtakes and bonus sketches and more. Rhys Darby is one third of the award winning HBO series Flight of the Conchords. His character, Murray the Manager, is considered by many to be the real star of the show, and with 100,000 Conchord's DVD's now shipped of a show only seen on BBC4 it is fair to say that the fans are a very dedicated bunch. In fact, with average viewing figures of 160,000 people, the conversion to purchase is unprecedented. Rhys' UK profile is set to soar with high profile movie roles alongside Jim Carrey in Yes Man, and the new Richard Curtis film The Boat that Rocked, while his starring role in the new Nike tennis ad with Roger Federer has further broadened his credentials as a comic actor. Rhys' first love is stand-up comedy and in Rhys Darby Live - Imagine That! We see Rhys on stage in Los Angeles performing his highly original, hilarious physical comedy routines that will not only appeal to existing fans but also to those who appreciate the visual comedy styles of the likes of Lee Evans."

The extras on this DVD include a preview of Alex Dron's very funny animated short "FOT". Voiced by the talented Mr Darby. You should buy this, it's available pretty much everywhere... more FOT news HERE
